From Incubator to Icon

About Mercato Centrale

We’re known for giving aspiring entrepreneurs a chance to turn their concepts into successful businesses. Mercato Centrale serves as a business incubator, providing a low-cost, high-traffic platform for food startups. Many of the homegrown brands you love today got their start with us, growing from a simple stall into full-blown restaurants. Our mission is to continue nurturing the local food scene, celebrating the rich flavors of Filipino and international cuisines, and bringing people together through a one-of-a-kind food experience.

The Launchpad for Culinary Dreams

Our Journey

Since 2010, Mercato Centrale has been at the forefront of the Philippines’ street food revolution. Inspired by the vibrant food markets of Florence and Asia, we created a unique lifestyle food market that’s more than just a place to eat. It’s a platform for passion and a launching pad for the next generation of great Filipino food brands. We’ve built a lively community where culinary creativity thrives in a fun, casual, and energetic atmosphere.
